Mouthwatering Morocco – The Best Things to See and Do

Trekking

For those who love the outdoors, Morocco will be a treat. Whatever part of the country you visit, there is always a remarkable nature trail not too far away. You have the opportunity to pick from different places: you can take a hike through the Atlas mountains, restrict yourself to the scenic Berber highland areas, take on the imposing desert area, or visit the wildlife areas not so far from the sea.

Most tourists choose to keep their trekking along the Atlas areas. A walk through the scenic Ourika Valley, taking on the Toubkal peak, or wandering through the Azzaden valley will leave you thrilled. However, the desert area and even tracing your way through the coastal area will also be exciting.

Stay in a local Berber lodge

The Berber culture is as fascinating as it is ancient. Having survived several generations, invasions, and external pressure, the culture has endured to date. Staying in a Berber lodge is not just an experience with a foreign culture, it is an immersion into one of the world’s most ancient traditions.

The Berber people are a strong and hardy people, successfully repelling fierce and better armed invaders. In contrast, Berber lodges offer lovely and luxurious lodging, offering the best of their culture fused with modern conveniences. The décor and finishing are overwhelmingly Berber in nature, utilizing natural material and artifacts typical to Berber life. These lodges offer delicious local cuisine, allowing you to sample recipes that have been handed down across generations.

Staying in a Berber lodge in the Atlas Mountains areas would be a great compliment to a thrilling trek across the area.

Take a Golf holiday
